The PACTA BC Education & Regulation Committees are designing a process that will allow practicing dog trainers and apprentices to gain provincial recognition for their knowledge and skills. This education “pathway” to licensing is a unique and flexible alternative to what currently exists in the dog training industry, namely examinations outside of Canada, and educational programs that are sometimes financially and geographically prohibitive. This qualification, along with the regulation of dog trainers, aims to protect not only the animals, but the consumers of dog training services, and the professionals themselves.

We are seeking information to help guide this process. This survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Your responses are anonymous.
